News: Racing Against the Dawn

Life is too short to do everything I want to do. The week, sadly, only has 168 hours in it and I am not on some sort of insane quest to make each and every one count. Alright, I've been on that quest for a considerable amount of time now but I'm going up a gear. Here's how.

Your ideal present is something uniquely tailored to the person, which is nigh impossible.
